Furious row between Farage and Umunna over immigration ‘DUMPING GROUND’

A ROW erupted between Nigel Farage and Chuka Umunna this afternoon as the Express.co.uk EU debate got off to a fiery start.

The UKIP leader responded angrily to the Labour MP’s claim Britain’s immigration’s problem is a “myth” and a “dumping ground” for the country’s issues.

Mr Umunna said: “It’s a myth to suggest the problems Britain has is down to immigration. It’s a dumping ground of blame.”

“The reason we have a housing problem is because our domestic Government hasn’t built more home.”

Mr Farage was outraged by Mr Umunna’s claim the immigration problem was a “myth”

Mr Farage and Eurosceptic Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg responded angrily, with the latter blaming the housing problem on “mass immigration of which we have no control.”

Mr Farage took issue again soon after when Mr Umunna claimed two million Britons were living and working in European Union states.

As Mr Umunna outlined his belief these ex-pats would suffer if British voters chose to leave the EU on June 23, Mr Farage shook his head vigorously and said: “Let’s get the numbers right!”
